[00:04] Ren     With you and Kai as opponents, then maybe... [00:07] Tetsu     Maybe? [00:10] Ren     I may get to have serious fights again. [00:14] Aichi     Sure! I'll fight you anytime you like. [00:19] Miwa     You're their guide... their vanguard. [00:26] Emi     Aichi! Are you here? [00:28] Kamui     M-M-M-Miss Emi! [00:30] Emi     I was just going to walk home with Aichi. [00:32] Kamui     Then I'll walk you home, too! [00:35] Kamui     Get ready to go, Brother Aichi! [00:37] Aichi     Whaa?! But I just got here! [00:39] Aichi     I haven't even fought anyone yet! [00:41] Kai     Then, since it's been a while... [00:44] Kai     ...wanna fight me? [00:48] Aichi     Yeah! SIGN    Sub Manager [00:56] Inenaga     I wonder who's going to win. [00:57] Morikawa     Aichi, of course! [00:59] Morikawa     I mean, he beat the boss of Team Asteroid. [01:03] Aichi     Stand up, Vanguard! [01:03] Kai     Stand up, The Vanguard! [01:06] Aichi     King of Knights, Alfred attacks! [01:09] Kai     No guard! [01:12] Aichi     Twin drive. [01:14] Aichi     Critical trigger! [01:15] Aichi     And also... [01:16] Aichi     Critical trigger! [01:18] Morikawa     A double critical?! [01:23] Kai     Stand and draw! [01:26] Kai     Dance, flames of crimson! [01:28] Kai     I ride Dragonic Overlord! [01:34] Kai     Descend to become     the raging wind of the apocalypse! [01:41] Aichi     Vanguard. [01:42] Aichi     It's a card game in which you yourself     become the vanguard and fight! [01:47] Kai     Imagine it!     Imagination will become your strength! SIGN    Image 25 Vanguard [03:30] Kai     Imaginary Gift! Force! [03:38] Kai     To me, Cruel Dragon     and Dragon Knight, Nehalem! [03:51] Kai     Begone, Pongal! [03:56] Kai     Go, Cruel Dragon! [04:01] Unit     Not on my watch! [04:07] Kai     We'll see about that! [04:09] Kai     Help me out, Aermo! [04:13] Blaster     We won't let you... [04:15] Epona     ...lay a hand... [04:16] Flogal     ...on our Vanguard! [04:22] Morikawa     He blocked it! [04:24] Morikawa     That attack had 44,000 power! [04:27] Izaki     It would've gone through     if Kai'd drawn even one trigger! [04:38] Miwa     He knew Kai wouldn't draw a trigger. [04:42] Shin     So that's PSYqualia... [04:49] Kai     Back when everyone else     kept their distance from me, [04:53] Kai     there was just one person     who'd still be nipping at my heels. [05:01] Ren     Damage check! [05:04] Ren     No trigger... [05:09] Ren     I lost! [05:12] Kai     You're weak, Ren. [05:14] Ren     I swear I'll win next time! [05:17] Ren     I have to be perfect! [05:21] Ren     I'm not allowed to lose!     Not even in a Vanguard fight! [05:28] Ren     I haven't beaten you yet, [05:30] Ren     but someday, I will     defeat the invincible Toshiki Kai, [05:33] Ren     and become a perfect fighter! [05:36] Kai     That's right... [05:37] Kai     Ren was the one who was     the most obsessed with "winning"! [05:42] Kai     And then, Ren got PSYqualia... [05:45] Aichi     Stand and draw! [05:48] Aichi     Ride! [05:54] Aichi     Exculpate the Blaster! [05:58] Morikawa     What?! [06:00] Morikawa     That's a grade 4 unit! [06:03] Izaki     You're right! [06:05] Inenaga     Never saw one before! [06:06] Morikawa     Awesome! [06:08] Aichi     Imaginary Gift! Force! [06:15] Aichi     Exculpate's skill activates! [06:18] Aichi     This turn, Exculpate attacks     all of my opponent's units! [06:24] Kai     Ren's PSYqualia resulted     from his obsession with winning. [06:32] Ren     There, you see? I won! [06:34] Guy     Darn it! [06:35] Ren     You're weak! [06:37] Ren     Weak, weak, weak, weak, weak! [06:40] Ren     I don't wanna fight any more weaklings. [06:43] Ren     Why don't you quit? [06:45] Kai     Ren did finally start     winning once he got PSYqualia... [06:49] Kai     But I hated the way he fought. [06:55] Ren     I get it! You're intimidated by my power! [06:59] Ren     You're afraid of losing! [07:02] Kai     Was he right about that? [07:06] Ren     You're just afraid of being surpassed      by someone you see as lesser than yourself! [07:11] Kai     Was that really true? [07:13] Aichi     Knight of Silence, Gallatin! [07:18] Gallatin     I am here! [07:19] Kai     If so, then why, when I lost to Aichi... [07:23] Kai     ...when I lost for the first time... [07:27] Kai     That card is yours, after all. [07:31] Kai     ...why didn't that upset me?! [07:35] Aichi     I attack! [07:43] Aichi     This light will rewrite the world! [07:53] Morikawa     All of his rear-guards got wiped out?! [07:55] Inenaga     And Sendou got a trigger, too! [07:58] Izaki     On top of that, Aichi's not done attacking yet! [08:07] Aichi     Stand up, my avatar! [08:14] Aichi     Blaster Blade! [08:17] Kai     Blaster Blade, here? [08:20] Kai     Come on! Just imagine it!     Imagine yourself being as strong as him. [08:31] Kai     Sheesh... [08:33] Emi     What's going on? [08:34] Kamui     Brother Aichi can attack     two more times this turn. [08:38] Kamui     Kai already has 5 damage, [08:42] Kamui     so if even one attack goes through, Aichi wins! [08:44] Emi     Aichi's going to win? [08:47] Misaki     Does that bother you? [08:48] Emi     It's just, up to a little while ago,     Kai had that scary look in his eyes... [08:53] Emi     But now... [08:54] Shin     Is that the face of resignation? [09:00] Aichi     Go forth, Gallatin! [09:01] Gallatin     Yes, my Vanguard! [09:05] Kai     Demonic Dragon Mage, Rakshasa!     Dragon Knight, Nehalem! [09:11] Morikawa     He blocked it! [09:12] Kamui     However, Brother Aichi     still has Blaster Blade's attack! [09:17] Misaki     Don't forget about the Imaginary Gift     and the boost he can get from Wingal. [09:21] Misaki     So it'll be 33,000 power. [09:23] Shin     Kai has two cards left in his hand. [09:26] Shin     Will at least one of those units     be able to protect him? [09:34] Miwa     Kai... [09:41] Aichi     This will settle it! [09:43] Aichi     Blade Rush! [09:49] Kai     You've grown strong, Aichi... [09:53] Kai     No guard! [10:02] Kai     I'm weak... [10:05] Kai     Aichi probably saw the outcome     of this fight with his PSYqualia. [10:10] Kai     It's all over now. [10:16] Overlord     Imagine it. [10:19] Kai     What was that voice?! [10:21] Overlord     Imagine it. [10:23] Overlord     Imagination will become your strength. [10:27] Kai     Could it be...? [10:44] Kai     Is this... [10:47] Kai     ...the planet Cray?! [11:04] Kai     I can feel the wind. [11:06] Kai     It's as if I really am     standing on the planet Cray. [11:15] Kai     Right now, I've merged with     Dragonic Overlord to become the Vanguard. [11:21] Kai     But the battle is already-- [11:25] Overlord     It isn't over yet, my Vanguard. [11:35] Units     My Vanguard! [11:39] Kai     Up to now, I'd assumed I was fighting alone... [11:43] Kai     But you guys were always     there with me, weren't you? [11:52] Kai     Then I have nothing to fear. [11:54] Kai     There's just one thing I need to do! [12:01] Morikawa     A heal trigger?! [12:03] Izaki     No way! [12:04] Inenaga     This means... [12:06] Miwa     Kai gets another turn! [12:10] Aichi     Kai? [12:13] Kai     Stand and draw! [12:16] Kai     It feels as if I always knew     this would happen one day. [12:19] Kai     You've come to me,     right at this moment? Thank you. [12:26] Kamui     Th-That's... [12:30] Kai     A transcendent lifeform now made incarnate! [12:33] Kai     I ride! [12:36] Kai     Transcendence Dragon,     Dragonic Nouvelle Vague! [12:40] Izaki     That one's grade 4, too! [12:42] Inenaga     What a fight! [12:44] Morikawa     It's a grade 4 feast! [12:47] Misaki     As far as I know,     that wasn't in his deck before! [12:53] Miwa     Could you believe he'd draw     an anti-PSYqualia card right here?! [12:58] Miwa     That a new deck? [13:01] Miwa     I've never seen those cards before. [13:05] Aichi     Does Kai have PSYqualia?! [13:08] Kai     Imaginary Gift! Force! [13:12] Overlord     You should-- [13:13] Kai     Yes, I know. [13:16] Kai     That's right. Berserk Dragon! [13:18] Kai     Nouvelle Vague's skill activates! [13:22] Shin     Nouvelle Vague's power is 45,000. [13:25] Shin     He can block the attack     if he has a perfect guard in his hand... [13:28] Misaki     But Aichi doesn't have     a perfect guard in his hand! [13:31] Emi     And this is before any triggers... [13:34] Kai     Here I come, Aichi! [13:35] Kai     Catastrophe Coagulation! [13:43] Kai     Drive check! [13:45] Kai     Critical trigger! [13:47] Kai     Once more! [13:51] Morikawa     Whoa, look! [13:52] Morikawa     Aichi drew a heal trigger! [13:57] Morikawa     All right! [13:59] Izaki     Yes, but... [14:00] Miwa     With Nouvelle Vague's skill activated... [14:09] Kai     Aichi... [14:11] Kai     Your triggers... [14:14] Kai     ...are all void. [14:17] Aichi     Right. [14:26] Aichi     You're amazing, Kai. [14:28] Aichi     Exhibiting PSYqualia right at the last moment... [14:34] Kai     I see... So this is what PSYqualia's like? [14:39] Kai     If PSYqualia manifested for me today, [14:42] Kai     it was from my units encouraging me to win. [14:48] Kai     But above all else, it's because     I had you as my opponent, Aichi! [14:53] Aichi     Kai... [14:55] Kai     It gave me a precious experience... [14:59] Kai     ...but I don't actually need this power. [15:04] Aichi     You really are strong, Kai. [15:18] Miwa     You did it, Kai! [15:20] Kai     Miwa... [15:21] Inenaga     That fight was incredible! [15:23] Shin     Yeah! [15:24] Morikawa     Grade 4, you guys! Grade 4! [15:26] Morikawa     That was so cool! [15:28] Emi     Aichi may have lost, [15:30] Emi     but I could tell it was     a really important fight for him! [15:32] Misaki     Do you want to try it too, Emi? [15:35] Emi     Sure! [15:36] Kamui     I'll teach you! [15:38] Shin     You both have the eye of the tiger! [15:41] Kai     That's right. [15:43] Kai     The reason I didn't feel     upset back then, was because... [15:46] Aichi     Kai... [15:48] Kai     It's been a long time since     I've had a fight like this. [15:53] Kai     ...I'd just had a serious fight     with an earnest opponent! [16:00] Kai     That meant much more to me than winning.
